Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Huh? Ning Chen said you want to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for an internship right away?"

Tao Wei was a little surprised when he learned the news, because not long ago, Ning Chen was conducting research on iron-based superconductor wire strips at the Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science.

It seems a bit unreasonable to suddenly want to intern at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at this time.

However, Tao Wei didn't think much about it, because Ning Chen had previously expressed his idea of ​​coming to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for an internship.

Maybe, during this period of research, Ning Chen made some new discoveries and wanted to study them face to face.

Thinking of this, Tao Wei said:

"Then reply to Ning Chen and let him come over at any time. I happen to have a lot of things I want to discuss with him, so I can take this opportunity to have a good chat with him."

In Tao Wei's heart, he has regarded Ning Chen as his successor and has a very special feeling for Ning Chen.

After Ning Chen received Luo Fang's reply, he reported the matter to the school and began to make preparations to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This time, Ning Chen didn't know how long he would stay at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

If you hurry up, you may go back after handing in the results. If it is slow, you need to follow the research team to complete the verification of the entire results.

Ning Chen naturally had to prepare according to the situation of staying at the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a long time. After all, the importance of this matter was self-evident, and Ning Chen could not relax in any way.

Ning Chen came to the laboratory to sort out some of his things. When Xu Zhou saw Ning Chen, he couldn't help but ask:

"Ning Chen, why are you suddenly going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for an internship again?"

"When I was working on a project at the Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science, there were some unresolved problems. We still need to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and study it carefully with some experts. Teacher Xu, this matter is a secret, and I would like to ask you to keep it secret for me. .”

Because Xu Zhou knew that Ning Chen went to the Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science to do research on iron-based superconducting wire strips, Ning Chen still couldn't hide this from Xu Zhou.

Of course, as for Ning Chen's true purpose of going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences this time, he definitely couldn't clearly explain it to Xu Zhou.

"Don't worry, only Dean Liu and I know about this matter. Just feel free to work on your project. The school has nothing to worry about for the time being."

Xuzhou knew that Ning Chen was going to participate in a national key project, and he also gave Ning Chen a hundred supports.

After packing his things, Ning Chen boarded a plane to Yanjing the next day.

Ning Chen didn't want to drive to this distance. It would take seven or eight hours at the fastest, and the roads in Yanjing were often congested, making driving even more inconvenient.

Setting off on the journey to Yanjing again, Ning Chen felt as if he was going home, because Ning Chen was really familiar with this route.

After successfully arriving at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ning Chen first went to his temporary dormitory under Luo Fang's arrangement and sorted out his things.

"Teacher Luo, is Academician Tao busy now?"

"Academician Tao is in a meeting now. He said he would have a good chat with you after the meeting is over."

"Okay, then after Academician Tao finishes his meeting, I will go find him."

Ning Chen rested in the dormitory for a while, thinking about how to explain this matter to Tao Wei when he saw him later.

After a while, Luo Fang called Ning Chen and said that Tao Wei had finished the meeting and Ning Chen could go find him.

Ning Chen brought his laptop and USB flash drive to Tao Wei's office.

"Academician Tao."

"Ning Chen, we meet again, sit down quickly!"

When he saw Ning Chen, Tao Wei was also smiling, as if he were seeing his own child, feeling very friendly.

"Ning Chen, I heard from Professor Sun Jian that under your leadership, the project team has completed the wire and strip preparation process of a new type of iron-based superconductor."

"Yes, this new iron-based superconductor is a new iron-based superconductor system in the paper I published in Nature before. This is a '1144' type iron-based superconductor. We are preparing iron-based superconductors. When making wire strips, molecular beam epitaxy technology was applied..."

Ning Chen was not in a hurry to talk to Tao Wei about high-strength steel materials. Instead, he first discussed with Tao Wei the latest research progress on iron-based superconductor wire strips.

The two chatted for a while, and then Tao Wei asked:

"Ning Chen, this time you came to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for internship, what kind of knowledge and technology do you mainly hope to learn?"

"The main thing is the scientific research technology of various engineering disciplines. I learned a lot about the science part at Yan University. Although it is not that outstanding, the basics should not be too bad."

"In terms of scientific research technology in engineering...the scope is also very wide."

After all, engineering is a very general classification, and the branch research fields involved are very complicated. Tao Wei didn't know how to arrange internship opportunities for Ning Chen.

At this time, Ning Chen suddenly said:

"Academician Tao, let's say that I have developed a scientific research result that may have great application potential. How should I deal with this result?"

"Is it possible that there is a lot of application space? Then it certainly cannot be submitted and published directly like ordinary papers. Normally, you can apply to the State Intellectual Property Office, the Scientific and Technological Achievements Information Service Platform and other departments. Of course, directly in It is also possible to apply here at the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."

But then, Tao Wei realized that Ning Chen's question was not as simple as asking casually.

"Why, Ning Chen, you haven't already developed such a scientific research result that may have great application potential, have you?"

"I have indeed produced some research results, but they have not been confirmed through experiments. It is not yet clear how big the specific application space is."

If it were anyone else, Tao Wei might not pay any attention to such remarks. After all, these words are too unbelievable.

They are just some theoretical research results that have not been verified by any experiments. They actually think that there may be a lot of application space, and even reach the level of confidentiality.

However, when the person in front of him was Ning Chen, Tao Wei's attitude was completely different.

At the age of only 21 years old, Ning Chen published 8 papers in the main issue of Nature, including twice publishing 3 papers in a row in the same issue of the journal.

To put it mildly, even if Ning Chen said that the earth was flat, Tao Wei would have to seriously think about why Ning Chen came to such a conclusion.

Thinking of this, Tao Wei said:

"Ning Chen, what is the direction of your research results?"

"It's made of steel."

Steel materials are not Tao Wei's research field, but as an expert in materials science, Tao Wei still knows something about steel materials.

"Can you let me take a quick look at it first?"

"Yes, Academician Tao."

Since Ning Chen has planned to use Tao Wei to reflect this result upwards, he will definitely not hide it from Tao Wei.

Tao Wei locked the door of his office to prevent anyone from accidentally entering his office while communicating with Ning Chen.

After all, according to Ning Chen, this technology may have a high level of confidentiality. Even at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tao Wei could not let others know about it casually.

Ning Chen opened his laptop and found the model file containing this achievement.

Opening the file, Ning Chen explained to Ning Chen based on the content on the screen.

Listening to Ning Chen's story, Tao Wei quickly realized that Ning Chen's results were indeed very important.

If subsequent research goes well, this high-strength steel material will likely be used in the fields of aerospace and aviation, and will have more powerful properties than the steel materials currently used in these fields!

In excitement, Tao Wei asked with some confusion:

"Ning Chen, how did you come up with such a steel material?"

Ning Chen's previous research in materials science was mainly focused on iron-based superconducting materials, and he had not done much research on other types of materials.

"Actually, it's an accident. In order to better study iron-based superconductors, I studied iron-related knowledge and papers in detail. In the process, I suddenly had some ideas about steel materials, and then Designed such a steel material."

Ning Chen's explanation was naturally just an excuse, but Tao Wei did not have any doubts about it.

"Is this steel material directly designed? It's really incredible."

The emergence of many new materials is discovered through experiments or improved through some original materials.
